Since I returned to eating eggs…a while ago…I no longer consider myself vegan. I’m basically a dairy free vegetarian. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like vegan food. I love it actually. I eat it often. And seeing as October was vegan mofo, I decided to recap some of my daily vegan eats. October 1: Spaghetti Squash with Marinara & Tofurky October 2: Quinoa & Seitan with Red Almond Sauce October 3: Mexican Layered Casserole October 4: Blue Plate’s vegan white bean soup and gardenburger salad October 5: Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie October… Read more >

I’m in the process of trying to clean out the freezer and use up things that I’ve been storing since 2010. Which includes some frozen meals that I got long ago with various coupons. Side note: Now I know why I don’t buy frozen meals…I forget about them! This red curry with vegetables (with tofu and rice) is by Sukhi’s, a company that’s based in the Bay Area, and has numerous other products I like (ie the naanwich). Anyway, the ingredients list is one I approve of, with all real foods and spices I… Read more >

My birthday week started last weekend with apple picking. After that we headed to lunch at Mendocino Farms. As much as I love the place, it’s not conveniently located for me. But since we had already been in the car for well over an hour, we figured what’s an extra few miles out of the way? Kyle got the Modern Tuna Melt which has “all white Albacore tuna with fresh herbs, farm house cheddar, vegenaise, housemade pickles, red onions, tomatoes, Scarborough Farm’s greens on panini grilled buckwheat.” He nixed the pickles, obviously, and deemed it… Read more >

I’m calling this both a cheesecake and a pie for lack of a closer dessert relative. It’s got all the elements of a cheesecake. Minus the dairy. Rich. Decadent. Creamy. Yum. That said, it doesn’t have the tang that a cheesecake has. More like a creamy pumpkin pie I guess? But dang is it delicious. Kinda odd to preface a dessert recipe like this but I just want to convey exactly what this dish is all about. So. Disclaimer: If you want a true [vegan] cheesecake, this is the recipe for you. It’ll wow vegans… Read more >
